Review #220: R.C.U. "Dope Man's Child"

Reviewed on 5.26.2009 (Review #220)


Frankie's back up in here! It's still May 26, lol! That means I'm on my 4th review today! Continuing tha marathon, here's tha next one: R.C.U. "Dope Man's Child"! Start Time: 11:27 PM | End Time: 11:46 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!
 
 
© 2009 CD Review (Review #220) reviewed on 5.26.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Penitentary Blues"
I like that tha "pen" iz in tha title, but by havin' tha "Blues" in tha title makes it sound like it gon be a sad story. Whetha it fa me or not, lemme peep it out as I start this review off! >>> Thought it was a Tupac type rappa at first. Interesting 1st verse about tha "cops cuffin' up." A long 1st verse, but LOL @ how you said tha title before tha 1st verse ended. Tha 2nd verse was good to hear. Ooh, wit tha length of tha 1st verse, I didn't think there would be a 3rd verse. Well, that 3rd verse was extremely short, so I couldn't really say anything... At least this joint wasn't depressing, so good start. My Rating: 3.7


02. "Dope Man's Child"
That's an interesting title, yet I should say fa tha album. What can I expect from a song wit it? >>> Tha 1st verse I couldn't hear much ('cause I don't have tha volume up that high 'cause it 11:33 PM right nah), but I guess I'll give tha 1st verse a thumbs up. Tha 2nd verse does sound interesting; I like tha flow wit tha "sell dope..." part; good job. Now, I hear tha hook, and it sounds great wit tha "pushin' rocks...cocaine" part! Not bad 3rd verse on this shit. Wow, looks like there's a 4th verse! Tha 4th verse went 'til tha end, and was not bad. My Rating: 3.9


03. "Material Things Make You Feel The Need To Get G'd"
Shit @ tha title; it 10 words!! Tha MC Thick title, "The Show Ain't Over Till The Fatman Swings", was a long title when I reviewed it earlier today (8 words), so this surpasses that title fa length! Lemme hear if it good enough fa me though! >>> Okay start, yet nothin' to say. Sounds like a slightly betta 2nd verse. Even though tha 90's are known fa tha title bein' said right when tha verse ends, because tha title iz so long, it sounds so cheesy to say right when tha verse ends, lol. Not bad 3rd verse, although there are no lyrics fa me to quote. Again, LOL @ tha title bein' said at tha end of tha 3rd verse. My Rating: 2.5


½time: Not bad start. Tha 3rd song was rated lower 'cause there was really nothin' to say, and tha beat was plain.


04. "Penitentary Blues (Instrumental)"
Oh, just an instrumental? If so, then: See #1 fa tha review!


05. "Dope Man's Child (Instrumental)"
I know this and #6 are gonna be instrumentals, lol. See #2 fa tha review!


06. "Material Things Make You Feel The Need To Get G'd (Instrumental)"
LOL... See #3 fa tha review!
EDIT: Rehearin' tha beat, and I can see a lil' bit of a boost in tha rating now, although when I first heard it, it sounded like typical old, West Coast shit, unlike tha Louisiana shit I really wanna hear.


Overall: A lot shorter than I expected (19 minutes long of a review). I didn't think it was just 3 songs, but that's what it iz. Well, I don't know if you're in my marathon wit any other shit, but I guess this was an okay lil' EP or whateva you wanna call it.


Rankings (according to my ratings:

03. "Material Things Make You Feel The Need To Get G'd" 2.5
02. "Penitentary Blues" 3.7
01. "Dope Man's Child" 3.9
